I wanted to familiarize my local readers with my dear friend Nadia's glorious business, Murals with Love. She is a professional artist and art educator with over 10 years of experience. The girl knows her art and is beyond talented. After preparing her own beautiful daughter's nursery, she realized how much she really loved the art of murals.
She is now providing her services to other proud moms and dads that want something special for the new members of their family or just want to give their children's rooms a facelift! So mosey on over to her blog to check out her work, I promise you will not be disappointed!
I never thought I would see the day when I would lust over plates. Well, the day is here.
These adorable plates are made by Sarah Cihat, who finds unwanted plates at thrift stores and then redesigns them into some of the most kitschy, adorable creations I have seen in some time. Unfortunately, they run between $34 to $59 each which make my pockets very very sad. Oh well, I'll continue to lust from afar.
In order to get some blogging inspiration, I have added some great new blogs to my netvibes this morning and found some great material! Thanks to Copy Cat Chick, I now believe that I am slightly obsessed with having a zebra print rug.
What do you guys think?
Oh, and I come bearing fabulous news: we are back in our condo! It's hard to believe, but we are finally home! So despite all my house hunting anxiety, I have decided to continue our renovations. Afterall, our condo has to reflect our pretty outstanding personalities, don't you think? ;)
So being an adult is not an easy thing. Making life altering decisions is not an easy thing.
I can't lie. I really really want to be a homeowner, but at the same time it scares the bejesus out of me. It's like a constant see-saw of emotions. Today I am see-sawing on the impulsive side. I found a good deal and I want to pounce on it. I also just discovered some truths about down payments and mortgages that may have been a no-brainer for the majority of the population, but was news to me.
My impulsive devil and my responsible angel are totally duking it out right now as we speak.
I'm hoping moving back into our condo tomorrow will get my mind off of it. Or maybe it would be best to block realtor.com.
Spoon was great! The hubs did a great job of covering bases as far as a review, so I'll fore go but I was really impressed. There was a lot of energy and a lot of love in the room for the Texans. If they come back, I hope to be front and center again.
Security at Revolution is always a bit extreme and this night was no different. We had three event staffers in front of us alone, most of the time blocking our view or shining mini flashlights in our faces. There was one in particular that was very serious about his job - ridiculously serious. Any little flash in the crowd would set him off. Because of this, I kept my camera and video safe in my pockets until I mustered the courage half way through the show to pull my camera out and try my luck at shooting with no flash. It worked! Much like a T-Rex, if they couldn't see it - they would not attack. After several shots, I decided to push the envelope a bit and test out my Flip. I covered the red recording light with my finger so they wouldn't get suspicious and sure enough it worked again!
I made it through the whole show right up until everyone was clapping them off stage. That's when the overly eager event staffer noticed the bright red light shining through my fingers and looked at my screen to reveal the video I was shooting. "You can't record here."
I'm afraid too little too late, my friend! Enjoy ;)
Is it weird to be obsessed with a wedding dress after you've been married for 5 months? OK, I know the answer to that question, but this little number has been taunting me every time I log into The Knot. Isn't it beautiful?
It's so vintage glam - totally up my alley. Too bad I won't need a formal gown again until my unborn children get married.
Due to my obsessive nature, I still don't have a concert review for you guys to read. I refuse to post one until all photos and all videos have been successfully uploaded and are ready to be embedded. I know, I know. I have issues.
Just suffice it to say that the show was wonderful - Spoon was amazing. One opening band, White Rabbits, were great. One opening band, The Walkmen, were horrid.
For a better review than mine, go to my hubs' blog. I promise to have something more content-heavy tonight!
